The need for UV
Water is a resource that all of us tend to take for granted. We turn on the shower, the kitchen faucet, and the garden hose and out pours an endless supply of fresh, clean water. What many of us may not realize, though, is that our water supply is not a never end supply and it is not as clean as it may appear. Ultraviolet (UV) technology is more effective than chemicals in destroying certain waterborne contaminants without altering the taste of water. This makes it a practical process for treating water used for drinking and food preparation.
How does it work?
Ultraviolet light (UV) destroys bacteria and viruses by altering DNA. This natural and non-chemical method of treatment penetrates and permanently alters the DNA of the microorganisms in a process called thymine dimerization. The microorganisms are "inactivated" and rendered unable to reproduce or infect.
UV light advantages
Treating our water supply by the use of UV disinfection is not only more effective than traditional treatments, but it is also an environmental responsible way of treating our water. There are no disinfection by-products with the use of UV which is safe and chemical free. Plus, by using UV disinfection rather than chemicals, we have also removed the need to handle and dispose of hazardous materials. Plus, UV does not alter water chemistry and its constituents, such as pH, taste, odor, or colour.
The UV-systems VIQUA manufacturers (TrojanUVMAX™, Sterilight®) are used in over 100 countries and in many different applications (e.g. households, hospitals, restaurants, camping grounds, bed & breakfasts, cottages, hotels, spas and health centers, day-cares, schools, nursery homes, small communities and many more).
